This book was released on 2023-11-01 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In support of the WHO’s goal of eliminating industrially produced trans-fatty acids (iTFA) from the global food supply by 2023, members of the International Food and Beverage Alliance (IFBA) – comprising many of the largest food and non-alcoholic beverage companies globally – signed a commitment in 2019 stating their intention to voluntarily limit iTFA to below 2g per 100g of fats and oils in their products worldwide. The commitment called for companies to reformulate products containing iTFA without increasing the content of saturated fats. This report monitors IFBA member companies’ progress in achieving this commitment, including reporting on progress against these targets in the public domain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noncommunicable Diseases: A Compendium introduces readers to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) – what they are, their burden, their determinants and how they can be prevented and controlled. Focusing on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and chronic respiratory disease and their five shared main risk factors (tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and air pollution) as defined by the United Nations, this book provides a synopsis of one of the world’s biggest challenges of the 21st century. NCDs prematurely claim the lives of millions of people across the world every year, with untold suffering to hundreds of millions more, trapping many people in poverty and curtailing economic growth and sustainable development. While resources between and within countries largely differ, the key principles of surveillance, prevention and management apply to all countries, as does the need to focus resources on the most cost-effective and affordable interventions and the need for strong political will, sufficient resources, and sustained and broad partnerships. This compendium consists of 59 short and accessible chapters in six sections: (i) describing and measuring the burden and impact of NCDs; (ii) the burden, epidemiology and priority interventions for individual NCDs; (iii) social determinants and risk factors for NCDs and priority interventions; (iv) global policy; (v) cross-cutting issues; and (vi) stakeholder action. Drawing on the expertise of a large and diverse team of internationally renowned policy and academic experts, the book describes the key epidemiologic features of NCDs and evidence-based interventions in a concise manner that will be useful for policymakers across all parts of society, as well as for public health and clinical practitioners.

Download or read book Reformulation of food and beverage products for healthier diets written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2022-06-10 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The policy brief on “Reformulation of food and beverage products for healthier diets” is intended to set out in a readily accessible form the rationale for its area of action, synthesize the existing evidence base, highlight lessons from country experience and summarize available policy guidance. The brief addresses reformulation of highly processed foods and beverages that are energy-dense and nutrient-poor which have become cheaper, intensively marketed and more widely available. Too many people are consuming large amounts of food and beverage products high in energy, unhealthy fats, sugars and salt/sodium. Such products contribute to unhealthy diets and measures are required to eliminate industrially produced trans-fatty acids (TFA) from the food supply and to reduce the energy content per portion as well as lower the levels of saturated fats, sugars and salt/sodium in food. By driving wide-scale reformulation of foods and beverages, governments can help to ensure access to safe, sustainable and healthier diets.

This book was released on 2022-07-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This year’s report should dispel any lingering doubts that the world is moving backwards in its efforts to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms. We are now only eight years away from 2030, but the distance to reach many of the SDG 2 targets is growing wider each year. There are indeed efforts to make progress towards SDG 2, yet they are proving insufficient in the face of a more challenging and uncertain context. The intensification of the major drivers behind recent food insecurity and malnutrition trends (i.e. conflict, climate extremes and economic shocks) combined with the high cost of nutritious foods and growing inequalities will continue to challenge food security and nutrition. This will be the case until agrifood systems are transformed, become more resilient and are delivering lower cost nutritious foods and affordable healthy diets for all, sustainably and inclusively.

Book excerpt: This detailed and comprehensive study examines nutrition and health in the World Health Organization (WHO) Eastern Mediterranean Region, presenting the six game-changing food systems actions proposed by the WHO and the progress of their implementation in the region. The WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region is a particularly complex place to study: an area of economic contrasts with changing dietary patterns and stark differences between high levels of malnutrition and a prevalence of overweight and obesity. As a result, actions to improve the nutritional situation of the population are urgently sought. The strategies explored in this book offer a unique opportunity to change food systems all over the world, addressing aspects including sustainable food production, the impact of marketing and labelling on behaviour, and the effect of global events such as climate change, war and the COVID-19 pandemic. Reshaping Food Systems is an essential read at a time when malnutrition in all its forms, including undernourishment, micronutrient deficiencies and overweight and obesity, pose a serious threat to global health, and is of particular interest for policymakers working in nutrition and public health.
